A Finger

A finger that helped me to walk, 
They are my parents,  light in dark, 
They are shadow in my summer 
And blanket in my winter, 
When Spring lost it's length,
I feel thousands of finger around me
And I get strength. 

A finger having nail polished with red
She is my heart,  dream of my bed, 
Flavour of my breakfast, 
And vitamin of my bread. 
When vitamin lost it's strength 
I feel thousands of finger around me
And I get a breadth. 

A finger very small and soft, 
A velvet light coupled with my thought, 
They are golden rays of morning, 
And silver beams of my night, 
When evening will loose it's light, 
I will definitely  feel 
thousands of finger around me, 
And get a flight.
